We received a phone call on Wednesday that Grandma Gertie died. She has been ill for quite awhile and although she was on hospice, we were surprised by how quickly things changed. Justin was able to travel home to be with family for the services. We find that when difficult things happen, our first thought is "how quickly can we get back to be with our family."
As we reflect on our many memories with Grandma Gertie we can only smile. She had a lot of spunk and personality and we always knew she was boss! She was also very loving and generous. We were able to spend some time with her during our recent trip to Michigan in July and are grateful for that opportunity to say goodbye. She will be missed greatly. Holidays and family gatherings won't be the same without her and yet we find peace in the fact that she is no longer suffering.
